Mike Toomey: Pro-Rick Perry PAC raised $5.5 Million

“The federal Make Us Great Again political action committee, co-founded by Texas lobbyist and Perry confidante Mike Toomey, raised $1 million alone from Contran Corporation, the holding company controlled by Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, new disclosures show.

Toomey lobbies for one of Simmons’ companies, WCS, which is planning to build a radioactive waste dump in far West Texas, records show. Toomey shelled out a little more than $100,000 of his own money… while his co-founder, Dallas businessman Brint Ryan, chipped in $250,000.
